## Summary

The author argues that AGI will make blockchains obsolete, though blockchains will likely lose most of their use cases to non-blockchain peer-to-peer, zero-knowledge, and trust infrastructure within a few years, well before AGI fully arrives. The post contends that blockchains are limited to objective strict consensus, while AGI systems could reach complex, subjective consensus, so the idea that AGIs will use blockchains is dismissed as a meme. It also holds that valuable cryptoassets like BTC and ETH will outlast the blockchains that carry them, since the underlying socioeconomic movement matters more than the technology. The post notes that "AGI" is itself vague and assumes it will behave as people popularly expect.

## Article

AGI will decisively obsolete blockchains, but it's likely it'll be obsolete for all but 1 or 2 usecases well before then (few years) as non-blockchain P2P, ZK, trust infrastructure develops

Where blockchains are limited to only objective strict consensus, AGI(s) can achieve complex, subjective consensus - "AGI will use blockchains" is a silly, nonsensical meme not unlike "telegraphs will use internet" 

Valuable cryptoassets like BTC and ETH will live on after blockchains are obsolete because, as I've said a hundred times before, this is a socioeconomic movement, and tech is only means to an end. The tech will be replaced, the socioeconomics will live on.

Caveat: "AGI" is in itself a meme, so I'm assuming it'll do what people popularly expect
